Amanda Olson

City of Monroe

Board Member

If you’ve spent any time around the "Gateway to the Cascades," you might have seen Amanda Olson out and about, working to keep our neighborhoods looking their best. As a dedicated Code Enforcement Officer with the Monroe Police Department, Amanda brings a wealth of professional experience and a personal passion for the city of Monroe to her role. Rather than just checking off violations, she views her work as a way to advocate for the community, helping residents and business owners alike navigate local standards so that everyone can take pride in where they live and work.

Amanda’s approach is rooted in the belief that a safe and vibrant city starts with clear communication and helpful partnerships. Whether she's assisting a neighbor with a property question or collaborating with fellow department staff to address safety concerns, her goal is always the same: to protect the unique charm and quality of life that makes Monroe such a special place. For Amanda, it’s not just about enforcing the rules—it’s about being a friendly face for the City of Monroe and ensuring that our community remains a welcoming destination for all.
